I was wondering if there was a way to unlock the Galaxy SII for free. I know that you can use like adb to unlock the MyTouch 4G Slide. Can something one do something like that with this phone?
btw, I tried the "Galaxy S Unlock" app from the Play Store, and it didn't work.
Do what I did. Call tmobile and tell them that you are leaving the country for a while and want to use a different carrier to avoid roaming charges. Bam. I had my unlock code within 24 hours.

yeahhh. I know about that, but I don't like how you are supposed to wait 3 months in between unlocking. and i might actually leave the country in less than three months. and the other phone is neither unlocked nor rooted.
Nope, only way is to call T-Mobile for a code....or a third party vendor

either get teh code from AT&T (if you're a customer) or pay $25 for it at one of the unlock code sites. there are no 'free' options outside of the carrier.
To get the code from ATT, dont you have to pay the full price of the phone though? Also, if you do the 25$ unlock code thingy, does the unlock stay forever (even if I do an update or change ROM's)?

Step 2 - We've got our code, time to enter it. To do this, we either boot up our phone with our AT&T micro SIM or dial "#7465625*638*# in the Phone app. Once you have the dialog box, enter in the unlock code from step 1.

you just go on tmobile .com and do a live chat and request your code.they will ask you for the phone number, model number, and imei number. then ask for a email then they put a request in and within a day you get a email with the code.

I am sure you have friends that have ATT? OR go to a store or WallyWorld and ask if you could get a att sim.
Or.. if you ask REALLY nice in the Wanted section. I am sure there is someone who downgraded to iPHAIL5 that has a spare micro sim. Since the new iPHAIL uses nano sim.

If you entered the code your probably unlocked. I would get the same response. Get a friends att sim card and put it in your phone to see if it works. That is how I tested mine. And it worked flawless.

Hey guys,
I got scammed on craigslist and the guy won't respond. So I bought a T-mobile Galaxy S3 and it worked fine for over a week until 2 days ago when it stopped connecting or registering to the T-mobile network. I found out from T-mobile it was blacklisted as stolen/lost that day. I called to confirm the phone wasn't stolen or lost when I bought it. The T-mobile store says there is nothing they can do except offer me a new phone from the store to pay full price.
Can I unlock a phone marked as stolen/lost using an unlock code and use it on AT&T?
I tried searching the forum and I found a thread about a guy who already had the phone unlocked so he was able to use it on AT&T but in my case, the phone is not unlocked yet but is blocked from T-mobile networks.
Thanks in advance,
Buzz
Well if you unlock it before the whole illegal thing starts you can use it on AT&T.

1111+ Thats correct I have tried every rom out there from att and it worked on my tmobile s3. Now for the op. looks for the thread on general there is one that shows you how to unlock your phone without a code. It was meant to be for the note2 but it worked on all us s3's I have mine unlock that way put in my friends att sim and it worked fine only thing that the speed its a little slower not 2G though. And thats because att's 4g its 20ish not 42.
Any ways. If you were called tmobile and talk to a superviser they can change the IMEI number on their system and the phone would come back to work in 48 hours.
I know because It have happened to me too. It doesnt matter if you have your tmobile sim on it for at least a day tmobile computers will register that phone onto your network.
P.S the only thing that will changed from a ATT rom is that build.prop It will show that its an att rom but you can edit it to d2tmo with root explorer
Just don't flash other modems from other carriers that will Brick you.

I have noticed a quite a few people wanting to get this phone and configure it for T-Mobile. I for one love the phone it has its quirks but whens it one the T-Mobile LTE its really fast. I have 2 now and sitting right next to each other the AT&T 1 bar, T-Mobile 4-5 Bars in my house. Also I have the E980 model unlocked Via ATT In less than 5 MIN's each time I have need to get it unlocked.

That's not true. Most of us who have responded are on the ogp as I am right now unlocked and on t MOBILE. I have had w unlocked within the last 2 week's. If you bought the phone with service they will unlock it. 18003310500 customer service only. When they ask for your mobile number it's the more options after the prompt.

when you are network locked you need to put the sim in of the other network you want to access. the network unlock will pop up and input the code.

Unlocked my phone yesterday n got T-Mobile service. Been messing wit the APN settings all day n trying it out all over northern LA county. I hardly get LTE wit the OG Pro in my area. Only Edge.
Called up customer service n the tech said the towers around here haven't been "modernized" for unlocked phones, but the towers are being worked on. No time frame given on when this "modernizing work" will finish. Just that, work is current til next year.
I throw the SIM card into my HTC G2 and H+ is all over the place! I'm using it as my hotspot for now til I get the U-verse activated tomorrow evening. Man, I wanted to ditch AT&T!!

gf reported her phone lost because it was cracked, samsung sent her a new one so now i want her old one. I put in my sim card but it says "Not register to network" im thinking maybe t-mobile blocked the phone somehow since it was reported lost but I figured there was a work around. Friend told me unlocking the phone and setting it to international radios may help but i have no idea how to do this since im new to the android community. Switching from iphone to android! So yeah, please help!
White T-mobile Galaxy S4 on jellybean, updating it to kitkat though.
Yup, T-Mobile blocked it.. There's no legal way around it, maybe your gf calling T-Mobile to unblock it, but they'll probably charge her full price for the one they sent her.. You could try using a different carrier, but it could end up being blocked again.. You could also sell it to someone in another country, blacklist won't go past the US

international radios, gonna unlock the sim. My gfs mom is probably going out of the country so if i unlocked it, she could use it outside the US right?and if she can i take it as she'd have to use a carrier other than t-mobile to do this though?
You can't use international radios.. And I don't know, but I would think so, using a local carrier should be fine

There are services that will fix this for you. I payed 35$ for my blocked tmobile s4 to be repaired.
I did this with an HTC EVO 3D. It was locked for 2 years so I flashed the phone to a different carrier and it worked. You might have problems with different features but it is posibble to still use the phone. Find a cellular store that will flash it. They normally charge around 50 dollars, give or take.

Do NOT mail the phone to be flashed! 4 out 5 of those d-bags will keep your phone

This is not a CDMA phone, you can't flash it like that.. And like I said, you can unlock it and it may work with another carrier but it can end up being blocked again, I've seen it happen

This happens to me sometimes and what I do is go under mobile networks and
Go to network operators and I let it load and then it registers on the correct network.

gf reported her phone lost because it was cracked, samsung sent her a new one so now i want her old one. I put in my sim card but it says "Not register to network" im thinking maybe t-mobile blocked the phone somehow since it was reported lost but I figured there was a work around.

Sounds to me like you are asking us to help you and your girlfriend commit fraud. No thanks.
